Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0
Man I love Grand Prixs. Good lookin Pontiacs today, gents- Ima get sidetracked here lol. Ought-ta start a topic or two of my own, they
are brewing. I'm whoring and my cars are truly junk so I tuck my tail and salute the undamaged ones.
Guz, that wheel change did a LOT for it in my eyes. Took it to another level of dignity, if you will. Nice selection, they look like they grew there. I generally scoff at sedans and have always been baffled by peoples' taste in wheels (or maybe... the manufacturers') but I know what I like and don't like when I see it. Theres a photo I need to dig up that you might mildly trip on, Barry Meguiar posing at SEMA 14 with a truck I worked on (metal and mud, ass'y, etc) and he is standing right by a pair of fenders that I also sanded and buffed, at the CarCrazy Corral thing. I ran across the before pictures of that one today, hood held shut by rope, etc. And it dawned on me that it was ALL done with 3M shiny products, no Meguiars unless it was "the pink stuff" for dusting, lol. True story. Boy reality is misleading at times! I am a big fan of both product lines.
Russo'- Which bumper? I guess bird beak. 1/8" drill and black zip ties if it faces the ground, you can do an IDJ impersonation ha ha. That GT front end looks good, now what are you hiding in the shadows? ha
Boobs (would you answer to that?)- I'd still have to try getting lucky at a hardware store for sleeve material, you never know. I'll scope the thread out.
My doin's this day were minimal. Mowed and got the GT pollen-ed up real good again, but paused for some more revealing pics. The "sweep-it-under-the-rug" fix is obvious of course, but not so much so rollin in traffic I bet. Anyway, heres that extension of yesterdays mountain of BS about humble junk. I just scraped off paint flakes, wiped it off with my shirt tail and bombed whatever wasn't black. Pushed out a couple fender dents before install and of course its all scratched up cuz JY. Painted some rusty at the fender bottom too, cuz SE. Lots more to do, as I said before this fix was just to make it OK to park out front. Tag next. Last pic is the left LCA rear mount, thats stuffed into the frame. After I do something there, I'll slot the RR strut and try to align. The 40th frame is bent bad at the tie downs but if its square I might swap that in. I can work with a POS but its gotta drive.
Almost forgot... no more t-shirt in the GTP dash bag hole. Did some broke dash bending and was able to attach the cover from the 40th. Much better to look at.
